Costa del Sol information: ESTEPONA |
||
ESTEPONA General Information At present the town is not only devoted to tourism, fishing is practised and citrus fruits are grown, with a good annual production, besides they make ceramics crafts, furniture, forging, etc. There are visits of interest: the Torre del Reloj (tower clock), of Arabic origin; La Torre Almenaras (the Tower Beacons). Along 21 km-coast line, we find seven towers, of Moslem and Castilian origin. They were used as a defensive mechanism until the 19th century. The ruins of El Castillo del Inicio (the castle of the beginning) were important during Omar Ben Hafsun's revolt against the Emires of Cordoba. San Luis' Castle was built under the orders of the Catholic Kings at the beginning of the 16th century, in order to reinforce the walls. It also has a bullring of asymmetric design, by arquitect Juan Mora Urbano, inaugurated in 1972. It is considered unique in the world. As for gastronomy, within what is considered traditional Andalusian cuisine, the following local specialities stand out: La sopa camprra (the outdoor soup), sardinas al espeto (roasted sardines), which are normally had by the sea. Also Estepona has a variety of dishes, such as sardinas a la teja (tile style sardines), boquerones fritos (fried fresh anchovies), la galineta, la brotola and especially, gambas a la plancha (grilled shrimps), pulpo (octopus) and salmonetes (red mullets).
